The Fairhope City Council is the worst council in the history of the community. Public trust, oath of office and conflict of interest are ignored and leadership is non existent. Their primary goal has been to obstruct the Mayor in any way possible. The Mayor’s office has been reduced to 2500 dollars for discretionary funds, the previous administration was allocated 15 thousand dollars, make no mistake you are the loser.
For over a year the council has waged war with the Mayor using fake and inaccurate news. They have had a policy of using employees, and fired employees, to spread unfounded rumors and encouraged them to demoralize staff. They have assisted disgruntled employees who have sued the city and reached settlements, which are sealed, that’s your tax dollars.
However the Mayor pushed on and fired deadwood employees and hired a top notch staff. The council members have persisted in interfering with the daily duties of the city employees. They are not in charge of the employees and are not suppose to be ordering employees around.
Mr Burrell, council president gets all the credit for this plan to “drive the Mayor out of office”.
His followers include his drinking buddies, poker partners, good ole boys, the 1% at the Airport and disgruntled employees, none of which ever attends a city meeting.
IT AIN’T THE MAYOR.
Remember Fly Creek? the Mayor was behind the citizens, the council favored the developer. The council ignored the vast majority of people who came to numerous meetings. Well here we go again.
BIG HEAD GULLY AND THE FRUIT NUTS
FAIRHOPE WAKE UP THIS MUST BE STOPPED: PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION Save Big Head Gulley in Fairhope, AL Fairhope watershed known as Tatumville Gulley or Big Head Gulley is being threatened by land…
Source: rippreport.com/2018/02/06/big-head-gully-and-the-fruit-nuts/
A petition rejecting the Fairhope Single Tax plan to be developers on the banks of the gully has over 925 signatures to date.
The proposed 12 homes will be fully responsible for the detention pond maintenance and most likely are going to have to ask for special permission to use grinder pumps to push sewage to the city’s main sewer line. This particular area of the Fruit and Nut section has had major problems with sewer backup into homes. The culprit is suspected to be the grinder pumps and the pressure that they produce to force the sewer uphill. Buyer beware, if you purchase one of these homes, you are guaranteed additional expenses in the future. Real Estate agents beware, you have a fiduciary responsibility to expose all these details to prospective buyers.
Two of the council members Boone and Brown have direct ties to the Single Tax, Boone has recused himself already Brown needs to follow suit as his business partner is a member of Single Tax and is pushing the project.
Next weeks council meeting has been rescheduled for Thursday, not the regular scheduled Monday. In the past meetings rescheduled have surprises on the agenda. The Council counts on you not getting the message so they can do their dirty work without interference from the public, that’s how they settled the triangle lawsuit.
BEND OVER FAIRHOPE
These council men must be held accountable.
Ha – they are accountable to the people that fund their campaigns – not you or I or the rest of the people that should have voted them out.
We will remove these clowns soon enuff.
Fairhope has changed for the worst. It is so different now. Turds everywhere.
As long as the developers get free reign then situations like this will continue to happen. After the vulture developers trash this area leaving overcrowding, failed infrastructure, and higher taxes for existing citizens to pay for it to subsidize the developers’ profits, the developers will leave the are leaving behind a place that is wrecked.
Like locusts they come in, pillage, and leave. But WE are to blame due to our complacency and being too busy to get involved.
I heard one of the men on the council has problems with the law.
None of them have a problem – they have the lawyers and the judges that are owned by the Catalyst Group
We could use a few more strong women in Fairhope politics. Our own Billie Jo Underwood.
Absolutely
She’s running for the County Commission seat – isn’t she? We could use her up there…
Help jack pack.
Jack isn’t going anywhere. Who would run against him?
I know two people considering. Hopefully they will talk to Ripp first.
Such a dirty group of councilmen. All have interests at play. $cumbag$.
Why is it called “Big Head”? Is this some kind of a joke?
I heard Ripp is gonna get a pile of cash from the city. Jack is gonna fight him and make the legal bill go sky high and the citizens get to pay! Government in action. Fairhope style!
Make sure all of you tell Jack Burrell “THANKS” for wasting Fairhope money. Jack Burrell did this in front of the whole world during the Fairhope City Council Meeting. Just think about how much Fairhope money he takes and wastes without anyone knowing about it. The tide is turning and so is Jack Burrell’s stomach. Victory is near and those and their families who have stayed on his side or have been apart of the problem will also get the justice they deserve as well. We have been telling you goobers for over a year now and we know y’all aren’t deaf. You dumb son of a bitches. I knew Jack and y’all were thieves, but not freaking stupid and ignorant too!
Sign the petition!
The heavy rains this past weekend (Feb 10-12) put a stress on the sewage system and caused overflows. The gulleys absorbed the overflow. Let’s build more subdivisions and fill in the gulleys so that the sewage will flow straight to the bay.
I know this sounds ridiculous but this is what is happening
Fairhope has made mobile bay a terlet.

Hats off to the Ripp Report…making Fairhope Great Again…with Mayor Karin we can go places!!
Ready for the goobers to go to Spanish fort and leave us alone in Fairhope.
crazy rumor going around Ripp that Judge Brackin in Orange Beach was arrested at the Mystics of Pleasure Ball for assault. Wondering if you could confirm or deny?
No offense. But who gives 2 shits about Judge Brackin. If you put Jack Burrell and Ttip Pittman together. They Still wouldn’t add up the piece of of a hog’s ass scum that Brackin would pile up to. Wake up dumbasses and men with no balls. Let’s do something and do it now! I hope Brackin didn’t get put in jail. Poor prisoners would have that awful stench in their nose from Braxkin’s pathetic asshole for quite a long time. Why do you think Baldwin EMC has stunk up Baldwin. County for the years they have used him.
We want to attend the meeting to join the opposition. We know it is at 6 p.m. tomorrow, but we don’t know where. Please advise. Thanks,
Fairhope City council Chambers, so section
